CHEMEX
Fold filter and place into the top of the
Chemex (see diagram below).
2 Pour a small amount of hot water through
the empty filter. This reduces paper taste

CLEVER DRIPPER
Fold paper filter and put it into the
dripper. Set the dripper on a large cup.
2 Pour a small amount of hot water through
the empty filter. This reduces paper taste
and pre-heats the Clever and cup.
3 Prepare ground coffee.

cup!) and add coffee grounds, shaking to
level the bed.
5 Press ‘tare’ on the scale.
